How A and R Sounds Combine, and the Hair Poem | #062

from Accent Training Podcast · host Patrick

The Long A and the R sounds combine, and are pronounced clearer in the American accent than in other languages. Listen on in to get a feel for just how you can stretch out the A vowel before R's, and get a distinct American sound. Listen for the Long A and R sounds in the following sentences to practice along:I can barely see if they’re there.  Losing hair is a very scary affair.January isn’t as bad as February. They very rarely do extraordinary things.Hair Poem (George Carlin)Listen to their Hair Poem by George Carlin Here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpGxsFaQuIM&ab_channel=NikolaJovanovicI'm aware some stare at my hair. In fact, to be fair, Some really despair of my hair. But I don't care, Cause they're not aware, Nor are they debonair. In fact, they're just square. They see hair down to there, Say, "Beware" and go off on a tear! I say, "No fair!" A head that's bare is really nowhere. So be like a bear, be fair with your hair! Show it you care. Wear it to there. Or to there. Or to there, if you dare! My wife bought some hair at a fair, to use as a spare. Did I care? Au contraire! Spare hair is fair! In fact, hair can be rare. Fred Astaire got no hair, Nor does a chair, Nor a chocolate eclair, And where is the hair on a pear? Nowhere, mon frere! So now that I've shared this affair of the hair, I'm going to repair to my lair and use Nair, do you care?COACH WITH ME 1 ON 1
